the dual boot worked fine until about two hours ago. never had trouble with
accessing and making changes in bios or anything else. usb keyboard. tried
the usual...unplugging and plugging, drivers, checking keyboard with diff
computer, all ok. I am using the same win xp disc for both boots but had
been told microsoft is ok with multiple install on same computer.
